[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 497204, member: 2322"] Hi, I may not be much help, but one thing we warrior moms need to do is let our children own their problems. I know what you mean about being embarrassed, but it is her behavior not yours. You need to feel good about reaching out to the school for help. in my humble opinion having had a child who refused to go to school etc, is that by not letting you ask for help she is manipulating you and not letting you do your job as a parent. If she were 18...but she is only 14. I think she needs more than a 504, she probably needs an IEP and there are probably some unaddressed issues at school. I know our kids are terribly afraid of standing out, my son was that way, but the alternative is just to let them crawl into their own little caves and become completely out of touch. Do you have a good therapist for her? I think it time to have a joint meeting and set some parameters around the school thing. One thing you might do is ask for a reduced schedule for her for the rest of the year, where she starts classes at 9 or 10,,, they can do something like that. [/QUOTE]
